Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Rowlett Neighborhood – Highland Meadows

The single-family home market in the Highland Meadows neighborhood of Rowlett, TX, is currently exhibiting characteristics of a balanced market in September 2025, moving away from the intense seller dominance observed in prior periods. This neighborhood, primarily featuring midsize, reasonably priced homes, is seeing a normalization of the sales cycle.

Homes in Highland Meadows are spending a noticeably longer duration on the market compared to the rapid turnover experienced in the recent past. This extended timeframe provides buyers with greater opportunity for thoughtful evaluation and due diligence before making an offer. Concurrently, the overall Rowlett market, which heavily influences Highland Meadows, is showing a decline in the median sale price year-over-year, suggesting a moderation of home value appreciation and potential price adjustments within the immediate vicinity.

Furthermore, a significant proportion of properties within the broader Rowlett market are selling for below their final asking price, and the percentage of sales closing above list price has sharply declined. These factors translate to increased negotiation leverage for buyers in Highland Meadows, requiring sellers to strategically price their homes to ensure timely absorption. The combined effect of longer market times and price stabilization points to an environment that is more accessible to purchasers than in the preceding year.
